Another Cynthia Rowley Jacket

I liked the first Simplicity 2443 so much, I had to make another one.  I left off the ties and I think I will get buttons.   This jacket also needs the d-rings for the sleeves, I only had gold ones and I want silver ones for this jacket.  The fabric is a  cotton-lycra with some texture from my stash, purchased last year.





I had asked how many pieces in my stash, well this was piece #4.  I am working on #3, it is a new Simplicity blouse pattern.  My goal is to have the remaining pieces sewn up before I meet Gwen in May for fabric shopping.

  4. Another cute jacket, Lori. I like how you only used the bottom pockets on this version. I still haven't made mine. :) But it's now winter and cold so it will have to wait until spring.

  7. I love that jackret. It will be a terrific piece all summer long. You can wear it with jeans, or a skirt, or over a dress as well.

  10. I really like this white version, and it will be so versatile for wearing this summer. I have way too many pieces in my stash to count, but I have been trying to sew it down some!

  11. I really like this jacket, but wonder it if would work with buttons rather than the tie closure. I nearly bought the pattern today, but hesitated because of this.

  12. Gorgeous jacket - it looks very expensive!! This is such a great pattern and your version, without the ties, and in that beautiful fabric, is a real winner.

    I would not have thought to use that type of fabric! The jacket is very unique and stands out. I love it.

  14. Oh Lori, that is sooooo beautiful! Maybe that should be my next project. I plan to clean my sewing room today and then I can start something new. A job well done for sure! :-)

  18. Love it! Did you see the white piqué version I made of this jacket? Some people told Gigi they think this pattern is ugly and outdated, but I totally disagree.
